spicy winter vegetable fritters with cool yogurt/cucumber drizzle.

the other day I had the whole house to myself so I set out to try something fancy and messy in the kitchen. there was a sack of yams. there was lots of garlic and jalapenos. add baked root vegetable fatigue+ inspiration from paula dean x googling “what is a fritter?” and you might get something like this. spicy winter vegetable fritters.

– remove seeds and scoop flesh out of squashes into a bowl then blend until mostly chunk-free, like the consistency of mashed potatoes. whisk in 2 eggs. add corn, more chili pepper flakes if you like it real spicy like me. cool the mixture in the fridge so it’s easier to form.

– form into casual balls (band name) the size of a golf ball-ish, dredge through corn meal and fry until golden brown. let them dry and cool on a paper towel.
